Pirro, Hometown Girl

Evidently, former Westchester County DA Jeanine Pirro first stopped in her hometown of Elmira yesterday to pick up some endorsements for her AG run before heading on to the Syracuse event I referenced below.

What’s odd is that I don’t recall getting a press advisory about the morning event in Chemung County. Why would that not be touted?

Pirro also got a bit of traction today with her crusade against MySpace.com. Jonathan Hicks of the New York Times points out this connection:

“MySpace.com is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who controls the News Corporation, which owns The New York Post, a publication that has often been critical of Pirro.”

Pirro insisted she isn’t “looking to shut anything down,” but is merely seeking a forum to discuss whether MySpace and other Internet social sites are, as she puts it, “a vehicle” used by sex offenders to find potential victims.
